separating flex disc from drive shaft/differential

i started changing the differential (again...hopefully this one's good) and removed all the necessary bolts, but i cannot, for the life of me, get the driveshaft to come loose from the flex disc. all the bolts are removed, even the ones that hold the flex disc to the differential. it simply will not budge. right now there's a 3 ton jack holding up the diff so nothing gets bent or anything.
help!

The metal bushings that surround the bolts protrude slightly so that they enter the holes on the tripods. Pry them out with a pry bar or large screwdriver.

That's pretty good advice. If that doesn't work, use some muffler grease.
